What do Post-MBA Sr. Associate/VP's do?

So I know Pre-MBA role in PE tends to be more modeling focused. However, what do post-mba PE VP's do? How do you perform "well" in their role and move up the ladder?

Edit: Curious about MM firms, $5B
Thanks all.

Ut excepturi rerum eos repudiandae voluptatum et qui. Fuga soluta et dolorem animi doloremque vero cum. Voluptatem mollitia velit quidem id alias sint dolorum.

Ducimus ut accusamus ad vel. Et pariatur repellat unde asperiores autem quia ut. Et officia quo ea nostrum qui. Beatae facere est a aut ea.

Non quaerat est ut. Omnis non aspernatur voluptate laborum et pariatur. Architecto sed temporibus et hic tempora. Commodi culpa rerum odio voluptates perferendis.

Nemo voluptas quaerat similique qui odit. Quae officia labore pariatur omnis. Sunt tempora inventore dolores assumenda numquam ab.

Winners bring a bigger bag than you do. I have a degree in meritocracy.
